Pediatric provider fights Florida Medicaid funding formula

Florida's leading pediatric provider for children on Medicaid is requesting that the state weigh in on alleged errors in rate calculations that have cost pediatricians millions and some providers to turn away Medicaid patients.

The funding changes have allegedly cost about $15 million per month for core pediatric care, according to a complaint submitted to the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings by Pediatric Associates, a pediatric provider with about 97 offices in the state and which serves more than 300,000 Florida children on Medicaid.
